Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g panettone, cut into cubes
- 500 g mascarpone cheese
- 1½ cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ¼ cup dark chocolate shavings
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
- Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract to the yolk mixture and whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until light and airy.
- Dip the panettone cubes briefly into the cooled brewed coffee so they absorb flavor without becoming overly soggy.
- Arrange a layer of the coffee soaked panettone cubes in a serving dish.
- Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the bread.
- Repeat layering the soaked panettone and mascarpone cream until all ingredients are used.
- Dust the top evenly with cocoa powder and sprinkle dark chocolate shavings.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving so the layers set and flavors blend.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for deeper flavor.
- Do not oversoak the panettone to maintain its structure.
- Chilling overnight improves texture and flavor.
- Dust cocoa powder just before serving for the best appearance.
